For a while now I’ve been searching for the perfect Summer scent. Last year it was Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb and the year before it was Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess Eau de Perfume. Unfortunately both are now empty and I’ve been left wondering what to replace them with, As you can probably guess when it … Continue reading

A Girl on a Mission
So here’s the deal. I’ve got far too many clothes that I don’t wear (show me a girl who doesn’t?!) and a love/bordering obsession with Jeffrey Campbell Litas. So I’ve set myself a little challenge to sell as many of my unwanted goodies on ebay before next Thursday in order to cover the cost of … Continue reading
Weekend Wants
Every once in a while I have crazy thoughts of breaking free from the office and the usual 9-5 6 or 7pm slog and living an existence based on one very simple rule – I’ll spend every Summer on the beach and every Winter in the mountains. Sadly I don’t see a time when this will … Continue reading

You may not be able to rely on the sun for that bronzed look at the moment, but that’s no reason to be looking pasty. With a range of 4 bronzers in the latest Mac collection there should be a bronzer for all skin tones. The bronzers are split into two camps, Bronzing Powder and … Continue reading
Mac Hey, Sailor! Collection Lipstick Swatches
If you’re still not sold on the latest Mac collection, Hey, Sailor! worry not. I’ve swatched some of the collection to help you decide which items deserve a seat at the captain’s table and which should be thrown back to sea. So far I’ve covered off the Powder Blushes and the Crew Highlighter so take a peek if you’ve … Continue reading
Mac Hey, Sailor! Powder Blush Swatches – Launch Away! & Fleet Fast
I think it’s safe to say that a lot of you stumbling across my blog for the first time recently have done so because of my swatches of Mac’s Crew Highlighter from the Hey, Sailor! collection. Personally, I’ve not been a big fan of this collection as the two items I wanted to get ended up … Continue reading
Decisions, decisions… 18 and East Plate Print Dresses
Recently I stumbled across 18 and East, an independent womenswear brand inspired by the vibrant music, fashion, blog and film scenes in and around East London. A quick look at their website led to me do my usual thing of filling my shopping cart full of beautiful clothes only to then leave it abandoned long … Continue reading

Here is the last in my series of reviews on the Sleek Blush by 3 range. If you’ve missed my review of Lace or Sugar you can find them here and here. Those of you who’ve read my blog for a while will know I’m not one to go on about packaging as lets face … Continue reading
Recession Busting Beauty – Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Dupe
What do Mac’s Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle and Accessorize’s Merged Eyeshadow in Golden Caramel have in common? Admittedly on paper these two products are completely different. One is a highlighter and the other is an eyeshadow but when swatched these two become one. Can you spot the difference? Ok, so they’re not … Continue reading

For years now Mike and I have been waiting for the right time to get a pet and after finally moving in to our beautiful new home we decided that now was the time to add to our little family.

Candle Scandal – How Not To Do Customer Service By The Scented Candle Store
I’ve held off on writing this post as I had hoped things would have been easily resolved months ago. Sadly this hasn’t been the case, so I wanted to write this to warn others about The Scented Candle Store and the poor customer service they provide. Usually my rule of thumb when purchasing items on … Continue reading
Mac Hey, Sailor! Crew Highlight Powder Swatch
Usually I’m not keen on swatch and runs as I like to think that if I’m going to write about a product I’m pretty passionate about it and part of that passion is demonstrated by buying the product. Unfortunately today, that’s not the case. Well actually I set out with good intentions. Having given up all … Continue reading
These Boots Were Made For Walking
When I heard about Walk to Work week I jumped at the chance to get involved. Admittedly it may have had something to do with the offer of a free pedometer and a voucher for a muffin and a hot drink, but still, that’s not the point. So as of 2pm I clipped on and … Continue reading

Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Refreshing Gel-Cream with Peach – First Impression
Every time Spring rolls around I begin the transformation from Winter hibernation to Summer beach babe. Now usually this involves me grabbing my pot of St Ives Invigorating All Over Body Scrub (which I swear by), defuzzing my legs and then slathering on whichever moisturiser takes my fancy in the shops. This year that moisturiser was … Continue reading

Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash Review (and a teeny tiny rant about the W!)
Whilst in LA earlier this year I was lucky enough to stay in the W hotel. Now on the whole I’m not a big fan of the W hotels, more often than not I find myself stepping off the plane and struggling to work out the simplest of things like turning on the shower or switching … Continue reading
Ahoy there! Sail away with Mac’s Hey, Sailor! Collection
It’s a new month which must mean yet another Mac collection launch! Thankfully this time round there’s not a lot I’m lusting after, though no doubt as soon as something sells out I’ll be hunting high and low for it. As far as collections go this one is HUGE! Featuring Lipsticks, Lipglasses, Suntints, Blushes, … Continue reading
